Celebrating the milestone birthday this year? You're in good company. Among the stars that turned 60 over the last year were Ron Howard, Michael Moore, Jerry Seinfeld, Howard Stern, Oprah Winfrey and Al Roker.

And, according to a TODAY survey from 2014 in which about 1500 adults ages 45-69 were polled, the 60-year-old demographic was overwhelmingly positive about their health. 14 percent rated it as "excellent," 61 percent rated their health as "good," and only 4 percent rated their health as "poor." 22 percent rated it as "fair."

Additionally, nearly three-quarters of those in their 60's reported that they were "embracing" their age.

"I have no reservations about it. It is a milestone, but I'm happy, healthy and very lucky...I really do think 60 today is different from what our parents' 60 was. I feel like I'm going faster than ever. I think [at] 50, you're kind of hitting your stride, and I think — all things being equal — at 60, you're cruising. You literally are cruising now, and if, God willing, your health stays good, you know, you just keep moving till the parts wear out...As you get older, you know inherently that time is going to be compressed. I want to fill that time up with as much positive and as much good as possible." – Al Roker, TODAY Show host, on turning 60 in 2014.

"I'm coming up on 60, which is a strange thing, because when you're a kid you think, 'Sixty, that's ancient!' And then you're actually living in a 60-year-old body, and yeah, it is kind of ancient! But I feel just the way I always have." – Annie Lennox as told to Yahoo Music, on turning 60 in 2014.

"When you're young, you never think that someday you're going to be 60, so then when it actually does happen to you, you're simply stunned, which is ridiculous because you've had six decades to prepare for it! In my heart of hearts, I feel like I'm 28, but my thighs tell a different story. So I ignore my thighs and everything else that's fallen apart and I try to stay creative. I really do think that's one of the keys to happiness: Keep doing what makes you happy, keep impacting lives and keep creating something beautiful so you won't be temped to fixate on your face. And keep laughing!" – Kathie Lee Gifford on TODAY.com. The TODAY Show host turned 60 on August 16th, 2013.
